1. Legal methods
Eric ,   Tel Aviv   (10.31.07)
"Pines recalled that in the past, when residents of Ramat Gan and Givatayim set alight mobile phone antennas, no one considered using live ammunition against them." When did the people of Ramat Gan and Givatayim have a history of throwing stones, or using grenades to get what they wanted? The cases are similar, and if they objected to the towers they should have challenged them in court - not by damaging private property and MAIMING a police officer for life.
2. Pines the slanderer
Israel Israeli ,   Tel aviv   (10.31.07)
I hope YNet misrepresented Pines by writing "Pines recalled that in the past, when residents of Ramat Gan and Givatayim set alight mobile phone antennas, no one considered using live ammunition against them. " Pines is slandering the police by implying they shot people burning an antenna. Apparently, the police shot rioters who had burnt a house down, shattered a policeman's skull and tried to stab a 20 year old girl who was only saved by an elderly Druze man. There are reports that the rioters threw grenades and shot at the police. Certainly the police behavior should be investigated, but the analogy to Ramat Gan is strange. What is particularly disturbing is that Pines was one of the supporters of the police when they beat little girls, broke the arm of a doctor and battered a former general. It seems that Pines supports the use of state violence only against his political opponents.
3. Police

What on earth good would another parlimentary commision do. Nothing was apparently learnt from the last one about the last oct riots. They still do what they like, sticking up there middle finger at any one who tells them they are wrong. They have intensly upset our loyal and honoured Druse community this time, not just an arab rabble. They will bring Israel down from inside because of their stupidity and "You-can-tell-me-what-to-do" attitude. The police force has acutely embarrased the Jewish state with thier totaliterian behavior.AGAIN!
4. He's joking right?
elchonon ,   chevron   (10.31.07)
"The (Druze) sect does not permit the installation of mobile phone antennas in its area, and its sensitivity to the issue is known." " So therefor if they riot its ok? its all about druze sensitivity's right? what about hareidim and settler ? oh right they are subhuman in the leftists mind.
5. What should be questioned is
justice for all   (10.31.07)
how the f**k did we get to a situation where the police is afraid to arrest a suspect. how did we allow these savages to get guns and ammunition and what are we going to do about it.
6. Civilians don't make decisions on antennas - authorites do!
Avraham ,   NYC   (10.31.07)
7. None of us wants a cell tower
Keren ,   North   (10.31.07)
